Coconut/Eucalyptus/Tea Tree Oil Scrub

My KP got pretty horrible over the winter - mostly because my current apartment is super dry, and I was too lazy to shave (which makes a huge difference). I had been using Eucerin Plus Intensive Body Repair Creme, but it's so gross and sticky (and not that effective).

Anyway, I started using a scrub of kosher salt, coconut oil, tea tree oil and eucalyptus that I make myself - just mix it all together before a shower and then scrub it on. I've been using it for about a month, and it's amazing how dramatic the difference is... the redness and bumps are almost completely gone on my arms, and there's just a tiny bit left on the back of my arms and my upper thighs. It also just feels really nice, and I don't have to moisturize after taking a shower (or ever, really), which is good because I'm super lazy.

I'm sure there are more effective methods out there, but I'm a slacker and this is really the first one I've been able to stick with. I have had KP since middle school, and I have never owned shorts or short skirts because I was so self-conscious... now I wear really cute summer dresses, and I'm starting to really like my legs (for the first time ever!). I do still have some KP and a little scarring, but I just don't care what people think anymore. That, I think, has made the biggest difference in my life...
